Well, I managed to review 8 books last month. Which as I was off work and still very down most of the month wasn’t too bad.I also saw the blog past nine years and also announced the annual Spanish Portuguese lit month . I also added two new countries to the blog a couple of African title. No new publishers but a few titles I’ve wanted to review from the likes of Camara Laye and Romain Gary both been on the tbr pile for a number of years.

Book of the month

Fleeting snow is the book of the month. I always like books that make you think after you have read them and also would consider rereading this title has both of them a journey into what is life and memory also who are we what is the meaning of our names in a way. The first Slovakian title from Istros book was a real joy as much of there books have been.

Next month

Looking forward I have a Columbian writer I have featured a number of times with what for me is his best book. The lost debut novel of a Portuguese great as the first couple of Spanish-Portuguese lit months books. I also have the 100th French title for the blog and a Baltic novel.

Non-book discoveries

Well the latest Album by Sons of bill came out a band I have been a fan of a for a number of years. Oh and the world cup started, I have watched some games. But somehow I am still not as spirited as I have been previous years Maybe as we move on England I may get the spirit somewhat. I have returned to work and am back on track being a bit more open and facing things that have happened. But back to the books looking forward to seeing what everyone chooses for Spanish Portuguese lit months.
